Menu Plan Monday

Hello,

Thought I would jump on board this week for Menu Plan Monday over at orgjunkie. I have been meal planning for quite some time now as it takes the guess out of whats for dinner and with a hectic life and picky eaters it is a blessing. I must confess though...it can take me quite some time as I have way too many recipes and always want to try something new...some weeks, I would just like to serve cereal for dinner every night (is that a bad thing?)

So here it goes...we are trying out some new pinterest recipes this week:

Saturday: Fireworks picnic at the lake...not too sure what I am bringing yet.

Side Note: For the most part, my family (with the exception of my daughter) claims they are allergic to vegetables, and I don't eat carbs or sugar...just meat and veggies, so I get a bit creative with dinners sometimes. I won't cook 2 meals at dinner EVER...I cook it, you eat it...but I do tend to cook meals that everyone will/can eat (they are getting better about a little bit of veggies) and I just make a veggie for myself (and little tweaks like leaving out sugar and flour). If you see anything with bread, I tweak the recipe for me. On Pizza night, I either make mine on a chicken crust or usually stuff a portabella with my toppings. I also plan my breakfasts and lunches which makes it easier for me to eat right and frankly remember to eat at all sometimes. I like to mix up my food so I plan 3 lunches and 3 breakfasts and just repeat on or two that week. My husband takes a lunch to work (sandwich or leftovers) and the kids are old enough to make their own breakfast/lunch during the summer.

about my blog....

My blog is ever revolving and that being said, you never know what you might find. From day to day you might find the rantings and ravings of an overstressed mom desperately seeking some peace and organization in my chaotic life, pics and updates of my kids and family outings, or peeks into my passions...cooking, scrapping and stamping! This is the place to find a hodge podge of everything...well, me.

If you are here to check out my creative stuff, please look and feel free to lift (after all, I probably lifted it first), but please only for personal use and give credit where credit is due.

If you like what you see - please let me know and come back for more! I would love to hear from you.
